Why I’m excited Beyerdynamic has entered the open-ear headphone game

I’m a big fan of open-ear or bone-conduction headphones for certain situations, particularly any activity outside. I won’t use anything else on runs or walks anymore, since they allow me to be more aware of my surroundings, adding a layer of safety I don’t get with options that block outside noise. Unfortunately, there is a downside to the open-ear design, which is essentially like little speakers that sit outside your ear canal.
